Bridgeport Pair Killed In Crash On Route 25

BRIDGEPORT — Two city residents were killed early Sunday morning in an accident on Route 25.

State police said a tractor trailer owned by Costamar Leasing and Srs Corporation in New Jersey was parked, unoccupied on the right shoulder of Route 25 Northbound. The driver of the tractor trailer, 64-year-old Elias Londono, was standing in front of the vehicle.

Around 5:22 a.m., an Acura TL traveling in an unknown lane on Route 25 veered off the roadway and into the back of the parked tractor trailer, state police said. The force of the impact caused the tractor trailer to lurch forward, hitting Londono, state police said.

The driver and front-seat passenger in the Acura were killed in the crash. They were identified as Jennifer Edwards, 51, of 280 Beardsley St., and Edwin Thomas, 36, of 470 Salem St.
